The powerful 2nd generation Spitfire® Broadband Powerline Modem (BPLM 2.0) range offers reliable underground communications using pilot and power cores, promoting assisted automation and improved mining operations in complex environments underground.
At Nautitech® we know that one of the biggest challenges underground is communication between sites and the surface. Underground sites will continue to have fewer people and higher automation to minimise the danger to humans and maximise productivity.
Network challenges in underground mining include confined spaces, lack of GPS, explosive atmosphere, weak strata and complex mining machinery. As such, use of powerline for communications is best for underground, tethered vehicles. Our communication products are designed to use WiFi technology underground with the ability to access real-time system data, productivity analysis, voice and video, as well as monitoring.
The Spitfire® BPLM 2.0 incorporates:
- Power, powerline comms and remote displays
- Daisy chain BPLM 2.0 for network extension
- Assign IP Addresses for network configuration
- Built-in diagnostic functionality
- 2 WiFi ports for up to 5 client devices
- 4 Ethernet ports
It is fully compatible with CUBEx Deepsight IS Cameras, and the HawkEye Quad Smart Display.
Suitable for both Softrock and Hardrock, the BPLM 2.0 provides a network link over powerline cable for:
- Real-time system data
- Productivity analysis
- Voice and Video
- Monitoring
Typical applications include longwall shearers, continuous miners, jumbo drills, shuttle cars, feeder breakers, auxiliary fans, roof bolters and other electronic machinery.
